In this research two Indomethacin derivatives were
synthesized, Indomethacin ethyl ester was synthesized by
The Direct Esterification method by reacting indomethacin
with ethanol within different conditions of time, molar
ratios and solvents in a
cidic medium using homogeneous
acid catalysts such as sulfuric acid and methane sulfuric
acid and heterogeneous acid catalysts such as amberlyst-
15. Then indomethacin acid hydrazide was synthesized by
condensing the previous ester with hydrazine hydrate and
the best conditions were studied of time, molar ratios,
solvents and different temperatures without using any
catalyst.
